How to French braid:

French braiding isn't nearly as complicated as it looks, but it does take some practice! To create a French braid you begin
with three strands of the top layer of your model's hair and add hair to the strands as you work towards her neck.

Step 1: Take a layer of hair from the top of your model's head and divide it evenly into three strands.

Step 2: Take the right side strand and move it over the middle strand.

Step 3: Take the left side strand and move it over the middle strand.

Step 4: While holding onto the existing three strands of hair, take a fourth strand from the right side of her face.

Step 5: Add this fourth strand to the right strand of the three original strands.
You are working with three strands again. Take the right strand and move it over the middle strand.

Step 6: Like in step 4, hold onto the existing three strands of hair, and take a fourth strand from the left side of her face.

Step 7: Add this fourth strand to the left strand of the three original strands. Take the left strand and move it over the middle strand.

Repeat steps 4-7 until you have reached the nape of her neck and there is no more loose hair to add to the French braid.
Now simply braid normally (by repeating steps 2-3) until you have braided all her hair!
